Anhalt Todd MD FACP --California Skin Institute - Los Altos, California

My experience at the California Skin Institute with Dr. Anhalt was unfortunately very disappointing. The photo shows the result of two attempts of Botox over 5 appointments, it looks asymmetric and incomplete. Dr. Anhalt has not disinfected the skin area nor took time to assess my facial movements and believes I am resistant to Botox (which was never a thing in the 7 years before at other dermatologists).
I did not feel comfortable visiting the practice, as my subjective impression was that it was messy and rundown. The front office was friendly but not knowledgeable about their cosmetic treatments which made it consistently hard to make appointments. A frustrating and very costly experience for unfortunately a worse look than before.

My family goes to this exceptional and excellent Doctor. He knows everything there is to know about the body and skin. He is so very I kind and helpful with any of your problems. We call him the miracle worker because he is very much one! He can diagnose your issues very fast and takes his time with you to discuss your options. I’m very confident in him and his office staff. They always make room for you on his calendar also, quickly. A great Doctor, bar none. His office and staff are so friendly, helpful and kind. Every experience here is wonderful!

Rushes appts, and he admitted that he's more for medical dermatology rather than skincare/cosmetic even though the website says that he does cosmetic. However, if you have standard medical dermatology concerns, it seems he is very knowledgeable. You really have to advocate for yourself in the appointments also as he rushes so if you are willing to say "wait I have more" then you can get the most out of the appointment.

The front desk staff are lovely and they have TONS of free sample items. They told me to take as much as I wanted which was great because they have samples of some pricier items too.

Doctor is exceptional but the staff never ever pick up the calls. Nor they get back after leaving a voicemail.
5 star for Dr and 1 star for staff.

I appreciate the care I received from Dr. Anhalt. In particular, his practicality wrt addressing symptoms while more detailed diagnoses can be verified was helpful.

I have been seeing Dr Anhalt for several years now. I have found him to be very professional with a lot of knowledge as well as a nice human being.

The best in the business. I am rather anxious with medical procedures. Dr Anhalt has a great bedside manner and sense of humor that I really appreciated. He identified my issue right away, took care of it, answered my questions and he and his staff were caring and top notch professionals. Can’t recommend enough. They got me in quickly and were very easy to communicate with the whole time.

While I have had no issues with Dr. Anhalt in the past, I cannot say the same about his staff. For my last visit, I was there for my appointment and did not have a mask upon which I requested one and was told they do NOT have any and the only option for me is to reschedule. For starters, as a medical institution, this could be furthest from the truth but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I said I would go purchase one and return and was told by then your appointment will be gone and you need to reschedule. I informed, in that case I will call and reschedule and a week later, I get a No Show $75 dollar bill. I found myself another doctor.

Would not recommend.
